JOHANNESBURG - Dec. 3, 2012 - SYSPRO, a developer of best-of-breed, award-winning enterprise resource planning (ERP) software for on-premise and cloud-based utilization, announced today the availability of SYSPRO Espresso mobile platform for mid-sized manufacturing and distribution companies. The new mobile solution is purpose built and leverages leading edge HTML 5, Microsoft technology and tools. The announcement was made at the company's Winter 2012 analyst roadshow in Boston before 32 leading technology analysts.

"SYSPRO Espresso is targeted at executives who require immediate access to c-level information as well as all users that are not office bound and who require secure access to real time data. The SYSPRO Espresso architecture is one of the first platforms of its kind to use a single source codebase (for the business logic) to create native applications for any mobile device, with built-in powerful customization capabilities both for the end-user and for developers to engage. The compelling benefit derived from this strategy is easy access to SYSPRO at lower costs of development combined with a high degree of product quality." Phil Duff, CEO, SYSPRO worldwide.

SYSPRO is the first to market an all-inclusive ERP mobile solution. Not only does it support multiple mobile devices as well as the desktop, the SYSPRO Espresso architecture enables full customization by both the user to adjust how the user interface (UI) behaves, as well as by the developer through the use of components (building blocks), to add business functionality in the back-end on the server.

"We have been very careful with SYSPRO Espresso to preserve what is one of our most acclaimed advantages," explains Brian Stein, CEO, SYSPRO USA. "The Power Tailoring tools that SYSPRO users have come to expect have not been compromised. SYSPRO Espresso users will be able to access and tailor SYSPRO applications that will work on-line and off-line on any popular device whilst retaining the native look and feel of these devices, as well as for the look and feel of their interface to SYSPRO to feel as if it were a "home grown" software solution built by their own technology development team - and all on any device of their choice."

With SYSPRO Espresso applications available from the SYSPRO App Store, expanding access to and use of the inherent feature/functions in the highly-acclaimed SYSPRO business solutions line, mid-sized manufacturers and distributors will gain productivity advantages. This supports SYSPRO's mission to build on its strong reputation as the ERP market's most robust, best-value solution set for global manufactures/distributors.
